You should never need to do so. By default, /sbin/init is run. If this
is suddenly not available to your kernel, it suggests that you have not
included support for your hard disk in the kernel. (Your root disk
support cannot be a module; it must be in the kernel itself.)
My guess is that the BIOS is loading your kernel, but the kernel doesn't
know how to read the disk.
Do your boot messages from the kernel suggest that it is finding the hard
disk? Look for references to /dev/hda, or /dev/sda if it's SCSI.
